Mortirolo time was very good, but not great. If he'd started with Landa, he wouldn't have dropped LandaValv.Piti said:Better than Mortirolo and Dauphine prologue? Probably, I dno.Red Rick said:Are you **** kidding me.

Damn right.Gigs_98 said:Hope is not lost. Considering the record of Austrian indurance athletes contador might be the official winner of this stage in two months.
Angliru is twice as long. This climb was probably just within his limit, he will never win on Angliru.Cance > TheRest said:But.. if he can deliver this again, why not win on Angliru?
Who cares?Pennino said:Supercombativo in the pocket even if some other rider attacks all the upcoming stages from km 0.0 straight to the finish line...
Just a waste of energy. I hope he doesn't waste more energy tomorrow so he has at least a remote chance of winning on Saturday.Forever The Best said:Anyways, probably what Contador did today won't change anything, no stage win, and no movement in GC either.

Come on, this is ridiculous. Yes, he was strong today, but no one really chased him. Something must go desperately wrong for those ahead of him for Alberto to end up on the podium and the overall win is simply never going to happen.jsem94 said:Damn right.Gigs_98 said:Hope is not lost.

Really incredible performance by Alberto today. Podium is well within reach. Idk, maybe even the overall if he stages an epic coup on Friday.
I hope he doesn't wait for Saturday only to be 2nd or 3rd behind the breakaway or get dropped from the other GC contenders...LaFlorecita said:Just a waste of energy.
